What’s Your Favorite Club

As I write this after finishing my 35th straight day of work, I am going a little stir crazy. At least they haven’t all been full days and I have been able to squeeze in three rounds of golf during that time. That being said, I didn’t have time for a long post this week, but I still think it’s a good one.

In short, what is your favorite club? A lot of thought can go into such a small question. It depends on what criteria you use. Does the particular club share some type of sentimental value, did it strike a hole-in-one, is it your best performing club? I figured I would go through some of my favorites based on different criteria. I also want to hear your favorites, so let me know in the comments!

Sentimental Value: This would have to be my three wood. It is a Callaway Steelhead III and it has been in my bag for well over 10 years. I am in trouble when I have to get something new since nothing has compared to it in club testing.

Memorable Shots: This would have to be the three iron. While not struck with my current three iron, my only hole-in-one came with this club. I can’t think of a better memorable shot than the glorious ace.

Best Performing: This would have to be the putter. I have always believed that my putting is the best part of my game. It always give me a rush to make putts, even more so that hitting a big drive. I am also very loyal to putters. I have had four in over 20 years of playing. Two of those were in the bag for less than a year.

Always love assessment-type posts like this. My favourite club is a Ping G10 18* hybrid. I just don’t miss with it. Memorable shots? I can recall two flush and pure iron shots over the past 3 years but when I was 12 I almost aced a par 3, missed by 6 inches. Best performing club? My putter is improving for sure, it’s the only putter that has lived more than one season in some time. My 3 wood is so good off the tee for me that friends wonder why I even carry a driver. Maybe I need to listen to them more. Thanks for the post!

I’m going to bail out on this question and say, whichever club I’m about to use is my favourite 🙂

Having said that, I just love wedges. Mostly because they are some of the most important tools in a golfers toolbox and if you don’t learn to love them, it would be terribly difficult to score well consistently.

Aloha Jimmy,
Whoa, you’ve got me thinking Big Guy. I believe my favorite is the putter. It’s my big heavy putter that seals the deal (or doesn’t). I can screw up after a great shot with all the other clubs, but a great putt goes directly on the card.

i have to say an old Taylor Made pitching wedge (I just love pitch shots in general) that was given to me by a friend when i was toying with the idea of golfing several years ago…. and a RAM putter (simple black blade) that just feels great and strikes the ball true. Funny thing is i bought that putter at a Goodwill Store for $3 and I just love it. I just got a Ping Anser putter and I’m still debating if it’s really worth $200 more (but I requested 34″ instead of the usual 35″ and I think i need to get used to the new length – otherwise I may lengthen it). Probably more of a response than you bargained for but thanks for the question ma’ man. Keep ’em comin’ Cheers!!
